Community Tasting Note

• Papies wrote: 93 points

  March 11, 2019 - This is still at the start of its drinking window. Ironically the 2008 we tried a month ago ( Papies 96) was a lot more ready.
  This 2006 is a touch reserved on the palate, touch tannic on finish. The nose is the highlight at this stage, light smoky, light iron feel , soft red fruits. Elegant as always, bright but just a hit buttoned down for now. For sure an amazing wine in the making for those with patience. 93 for now but watch this space.
